Waiver
You must sign and complete CMH's Application & Waiver form prior to your heli skiing or heli hiking trip. Please note you must have a parent or guardian sign it on your behalf if you are under 19 years of age. You can download CMH's waiver forms here.
Heli Skiing Warm Up (Canada)
It's a great idea to organise a few days of warm-up in a resort to get over the jet-lag and to find your ski legs again. Have a look at our Heli Ski Warm Up pages for information about the resorts that tie-in with your trip. We can book your hotel for you as well as recommending restaurants, ski guides or any other local information that you may need.
Getting ready
Fitness
We highly recommend that you have a good level of fitness - so that you can enjoy your trip to the maximum and avoid injury. We've developed our ski fitness programme with the help of Craig McLean who runs the Putney Chiropractic Centre. Please visit our ski fitness page for our video series of stretches and strengthening exercises. You can also sign up for our monthly ski exercises by email. Please contact us for more information.
